[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chidave09:
So that is the furthest I have gotten, getting it to actually turn on instead of instant "error" message. Here are the steps of my progress so far, remember though, I too am a noob

1) Got CM7 system.img and boot.img from HERE

2) Using Ubuntu 11.10, I mounted the CM7 system.img with normal methods:

mkdir /path/to/temp/mountpoint
sudo /bin/bash
# mount /path/to/downloaded/system.img /path/to/temp/mount

3) You can now view the cm image as if it were a folder, but you need root permission to change anything, which is why I used sudo /bin/bash before mounting. I tried mounting without root permission, but that seemed to break permissions of some files and caused bootloops

4) I decided to alter the build.prop so I could enable the lines required to fix the accelerometer. While I was in there I decided to change a couple things like the fake market for sprint.

5) Next I wanted to push the necessary Google app framework needed to make Google apps work. So, I downloaded gapps from goo-inside.me

6) Extract the gapps.zip, then the following to push the files to the cm system

# cp -R /path/to/gapp/system/app /path/of/mountpoint

7) Decided that was enough for first release, so I had to start with

# umount /path/to/mountpoint

8) Put files on usb stick and take them back to Windows 7. Then used the rk update tool to flash the following.

Loader.............................Original 2.4
Parameter........................Original 2.4
Misc................................Original 2.4
Kernel..............................Original 2.4
Boot................................Downloaded
Recovery.........................Original 2.4
System...........................Modified CM

9) Everything booted and files appeared in /system/app. The screen was also fixed, so I uploaded and posted link with tutorial here.

So far since then, all I have done is manually copy over a hundred files from the orginal 2.4 /system folder to cm /system. Most of those were line by line, which is why I haven't had much time to post on here. That and the fact I have an 8+ hr a day job, in which I can not even access my phone, gives me very little time. I know, I need a new job!!

Anyway, all I had to do to copy files from the original 2.4 system folder, was the following

1) Flash the original 2.4 rom to the tablet

2) Use abd to do the following

$ adb shell
# busybox cp (-R for folder) /file/from/device /mnt/sdcard/external_sd/folder
# exit

3) Mount the sdcard to your pc and all files/folders you copied are there! (some still will not give you permission

Today, I started fresh from with the system.img I posted in the tutorial (and HERE!) and tried the following.

sudo /bin/bash
# mount /path/to/system.img /
# cp -R /system/bin/from/2.4 /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/etc/from/2.4 /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/framework/from/2.4 /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/lib/from/2.4 /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/usr/from/2.4 /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/xbin/from/2.4 /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/bin/from/orig.cm /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/etc/from/orig.cm /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/framework/from/orig.cm /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/lib/from/orig.cm /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/usr/from/orig.cm /path/to/mountpoint
# cp -R /system/xbin/from/orig.cm /path/to/mountpoint

This assured me that all files on the original 2.4 that were missing from cm were now there and that any files that had the same name were from cm and not the original.

Well, I already had figured out a file that was in both but was much larger in the 2.4 version. This file being /system/lib/modules/wlan.ko, so I knew I was going to have to copy that again

cp /path/to/2.4/pulled_files/system/lib/modules/wlan.ko /cm7/mountpoint/lib/modules

Booted that and no different, I uploaded my latest version HERE

*NOTE* I am sure there is a way to do all of this in windows, but I just found it much easier and hassle free to use VMware Player with Ubuntu 11.10
